Why does outer_view return Option instead of Result? #347

Description

@roek-pnnl

I'm building an application that uses sprs for sparse matrices, and I've been debating how to handle errors when the user asks for a row or column that is out of bounds. sprs handles this with an option, but I would have expected a Result, for error handling. I'm inclined to use Result in downstream parts of my own application, but if there's a compelling reason why sprs uses Option instead then I might stick to that for consistency with your package! Thank you!
